Saw this on TV... looked pretty cool. I think I saw some chefs using these techniques on Iron Chef before too.

does it taste different when cooked molecularly? or is it just presentation?

Not sure, I've never tried it. I guess we can ask Jai after he comes back from Chicago $800 poorer.

he's going all the way to chicago for just that one meal?
i.e. he's going to be poorer than just $800.

There's a book on molecular cooking. One dude from microsoft spent $1 million researching and writing a book on it.
